Thanks everyone for the insights, much appreciated.
I have only placed the "order request" or as my SA wrote to me an "order demand". I understand that this doesn't mean I have submitted an order and that I am currently waiting for allocation, which would move my vehicle to V200 status. I was at my dealership yesterday and I asked about my order status and my SA mentioned that they do not have any allocation and they so not know when they will get more. My question is, has anyone else experienced a 6+ month wait for allocation? It feels like a long wait given that I started the process back in April.
Thanks again in advance.

Call other dealers. Seems like this SA could care less whether you get an allocation or not

We ordered our car in June for European Delivery on September 10. We got back Sunday from our aborted European Delivery Experience. We were notified a week ahead that the car wouldn't be ready on the scheduled date. So, we took the trip anyway because we had plane tickets, hotels etc. booked. We used a rented Audi A5 Quattro Sportback, S Line, which turned out to be actually pretty awesome. We did 3,500 kilometers across Germany, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg and Belgium. COVID restrictions weren't really a problem. Just showed the VAX card and it got us in. No factory tour because of COVID but we did get a personal guided tour of the Porsche Museum.
Just received word today that we'll be taking delivery in Atlanta on October 14! Actually about a week earlier than if we had taken delivery in Europe, then waited for shipment.
We're going to do a barbecue tour through the Carolinas, Maryland etc. and back to Boston.
Wow. Four months for a car. Probably the first time and last in my life.

[QUOTE=JDMP87;17693632]Thanks everyone for the insights, much appreciated.
If you must have AWD, I would suggest you change your request (or customer demand) to a 4S out of a Base C4. You will improve your chances IMO. C4 is a very specific request and in current context most likely an allocation for that trim is not going to be available for a long while. Good luck!

Apologies in advance this is a bit of a rant.
It's been awhile since I've posted on this thread and I'll be honest I was hoping to post again with "I finally got allocation...etc" but that isn't the case. After seeing so many people posting about ordering a car in May-July and getting allocation I thought I would see if anyone has insights as to what is going on with my order.
So I placed my order at the beginning of April and received my "order demand #" at the same time. Note this doesn't mean much just my name, model (911 C4) and specs. Since then I have put my deposit down and have been waiting patiently for updates. Initially the expectation was allocation would take 3-4 months with an expected delivery of November/December, which was longer than expected but I was in no rush. Flash forward to this past week and I'm picking up my car from a service and I see my SA at the dealership and ask how it's going. Again he says there is no allocation and that he isn't sure when we will see anything.
At this point I'm frustrated and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced a similar wait? I'm in western Canada, a smaller market, so we might be given a lower priority but I'm not sure waiting 6+ months for allocation is considered standard even with delays?

Looks like Glovis Sun might already left Emden, in route to Santa Maria, Columbia.

I hope my 992, along with those 992s with end of Oct 2021 delivery dates on the west coast all made it aboard the Glovis Sun.
Cheers!

I asked my guys 3 times, is this a real allocation. He said yes, and then sent me THREE different forms to sign on the bottom, one being a credit card slip, the other being a window sticker looking piece of paper and the final being a personalized quote (trade in summary and financial overview on the left side). He asked for 5K, i said can i please give you 2500 and he said fine. I sent the forms and i was done. Why are people giving money to "show Porsche your interest". ?
